Hi Resident

Are you aware of Cuckooing?

What is Cuckooing?

Cuckooing is a process where people target the homes of vulnerable adults, resulting in them losing control of their property. They may use the property for any criminal purpose, including drug dealing, sexual crimes and storing weapons.

The vulnerable adult can be exploited and coerced to participate in criminal acts. Young people vulnerable to criminal exploitation can also be associated with these properties.

Cuckooed residents may be victims of crime and the council, in partnership with the police, will also provide support to the cuckooed resident to get them the help they need,

We can also take steps to prevent people entering addresses which are being used for cuckooing using formal enforcement action.

This can also help to deter any criminal activity or anti-social behaviour which have a detrimental effect on the wider community and can make local residents' lives a misery.

Please join me and my team if you would like any more information on cuckooing or if you have any information you would like to share with us. Of course, you can chat to us about anything else you would like too.
